Two more sleeps til my brother arrives from London. I’ve been boasting the 30degree days and the lack of rain to him for weeks. If the person that took the sun could kindly send it back my way now, I’d be a happy girl. I can’t believe how quickly this weather has turned. Happy to see rain, disappointed that Vaughan won’t arrive to those glorious summer days we had. Send. the. sun. back. lol.
Want to contribute to a huge scrapbooking charity??? You’ll have to do some scrapping… might be tough goin…
I got this email from Julie Stone talking about a kiddies charity. I took a look, thought about it and didn’t think again. As ya do. Then I was at Trina’s blog the other day and saw that Trina is coordinating the NZ part of this charity. I read further and thought why not?
Now this happened to be the same day that I recieved some cool stuff from Stampin’ Up! – I’ll be doing some projects using Stampin’ Up! on my blog soon…anyway I’m chatting to Stampin’ Up about this charity and all of a sudden they want to help out too! COOL!
So this is the deal.
This is the Southern Cross Kids Camp in Australia. Its a camp that is held for abused and ‘at risk’ kids . The camp is run by volunteers who help them put together 6×6 scrapbooks – they take photos and put them in scrapbooks. SO cool. Alot of the time these books are the only photos these children have of their childhoods.
So last year they created the pages all at the camp. This year they are having twice the kids and since they need 1600 pages they decided to do it all beforehand. So.
Who’s in? Julie needs 1600 6×6 pages. I’ve started to scrap a few and here are pics of the ones Julie suggested you copy – and some I have been creating. Now these are all done with Stampin’ Up! stuff – except for that tiny bit of BG blush you see there.
So they need 6×6 pages. Really simple. Room for a 5″ x 3.5″ photo.
AND this is the bonus.
For every 8 pages you scrap and send to me or Trina, I’ll put you in the draw for a prize from Stampin’ Up! YEA! more GIVEaways!!!!
You don’t get entered into the draw until Trina or I have received your pages in the mail – but you have 5 weeks! Imagine how many sets you could do! I made 4 this morning in under an hour and that was really mucking around with these stamps – I just had to play lol.
So again – It’s 8 pages – you can get those out of 2 sheets of cardstock! Simple simple easy simple. Create 8 and send them to me or Trina and I’ll put you in the draw.
AND I’m pretty sure people on other blogs are going to follow suit…Trina mentioned prizes on her blog for creating 8 pages too – we’ll make this a true group effort… so you could be entering for prizes all over the place …
Who’s IN?!!!! You have til March 21st.
(and thanks Stampin’ Up! for the prize for my blog!).
Oh – something for the designers, For Keeps is sponsoring a prize or two for the Scrapbooking Industry Australia Commercial Designer Awards. It’s a different kind of competition as it recognises those people in the scrapbooking industry that are trying to become established as designers. Prizes for Outstanding commercial design for an individual and for a design team. Aaaaaaaaand I’ve just read the rules and it seems it’s Aussies only – go you Aussie girls! Good luck to everyone!
So. That sun. Who’s going to reassure myself it’s on its way back? Drinking a rum with my bro on the deck just isn’t the same when it’s raining ;o)
laters.
